Get ready to swap out the umbrellas for sunglasses, Dallas. The National Weather Service has a weekend forecast that starts with a tempest but promises brighter days just on the horizon. The NWS warns that today's weather will bring showers and a potential thunderstorm, with a high chance of precipitation at 100%. The mercury is expected to fall to around 55 degrees by the evening amidst foggy conditions in the morning hours, according to the National Weather Service.
The wet start doesn't end with the sunset; tonight, the forecast suggests a continuation of showers and thunderstorms until the early AM, with lows hovering around 50 degrees. Despite the Northeast wind howling at 10 to 15 mph and gusts reaching up to 25 mph, the chance of precipitation dips slightly to 90%, with rainfall measures between a tenth and a quarter of an inch, though higher amounts are possible during thunderstorms.
Respite comes on Sunday with partly sunny skies and milder conditions set to grace the city. The NWS predicts a high near 65 degrees, with a North northeast wind blowing gently at around 10 mph. Sunday night's sky is expected to clear, dropping temperatures to a low of around 47 degrees and the wind maintaining its light touch.
Good news continues into the workweek with Monday slated for sunny skies and a high near 73 degrees, a welcomed change for residents. The light, variable winds in the morning will shift to the south, picking up to 10 to 15 mph. Tuesday's warmth inches up further, teasing a high near 79 amid continued sunny conditions. That night, though, there's a 20 percent chance of late showers and thunderstorms under partly cloudy skies with lows around 62 degrees.
It seems the region can't quite shake off the rain entirely, as chances of showers and thunderstorms linger throughout the midweek. Predictions for Wednesday and Thursday each show a 20 percent chance of rain with highs in the upper 70s and lows in the mid-60s. By Friday, however, that chance ramps up to 40 percent, threatening to dampen plans under mostly cloudy skies and a high near 83 degrees.
